How to use

Insert a compatible 2.5" HDD or SSD into the enclosure by opening the transparent housing and sliding the drive into the connector until it seats securely. Close the housing until it clicks to complete the tool-free installation. Connect the enclosure to a computer or compatible host using the included USB cable with Micro-B connector.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the enclosure with standard 2.5" SATA HDDs or SSDs and avoid excessive physical shock. When handling sensitive data, ensure the drive is properly ejected from the operating system before unplugging the USB cable. If using with large-capacity drives or intensive transfers, ensure the host system provides sufficient power and that cables and ports conform to USB 3.0 specifications for optimal performance.
